Movies vs. Capitalism Casablanca (w/ Harvey Kaye)

Rivka and Frank are joined by returning guest and pod favorite, award-winning author and professor Harvey Kaye, to discuss the all-time classic Casablanca. The trio dig into why the film truly deserves its legendary status, its striking relevance to today’s political climate amid the rise of fascism in America, and the quietly radical politics behind the filmmaking itself.
For next week’s movie—snap out of it!—we’ll be watching Moonstruck.
